This week Arlan Hellison of thehell.zone shares with us a love of the grandfather of all First Person Shooters and bastion of Midi-Metal, DOOM! Now, what Political Topic could possibly match up with the Video Game that runs on anything?
Politicians that run on anything, naturally.
It’s Doom Vs Campaign Promises in The Most Important Election of our Lives!
“We love slaying Demons dont we folks?”: What’s more believable really? A Republican running for local office on the promise that you can fire him, or a flesh rending space marine that can’t look up?
“A National Ban on jumping!”: Who would dare executive order such a thing? How would you even implement it?
“An Endorsement from Hell”: I mean sure Hilary takes it but does Bill?
“The Ultimate Question”: Which Politician has the Patriotic courage to run on a promise to develop the BFG?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
